Antique Questions Forum / Re: Old vase antique? sand majolica?

Thanks for the responses.  KC, I see your example was made in the 1960s, but the different color/ornamental detail is noted.

I've had no luck identifying the maker from the mark and maybe narrowing down when it was made (although I do think it was around 1900 as ghopper1924 said).  Any help or suggestions on figuring these two things out?

Thank you for your response, I'm sorry to  hear that it may be less valuable than believed.

Antique Questions Forum / Old vase antique? sand majolica?

This item (vase?) was given to me by mother who was in her mid-70's a few years ago; she told me it was old and antique, passed down to her from her grandmother to her mother (they lived in the US SE/Carolinas region; that's all I know about its origin). 

As shown in the pictures, it is about 7in tall and 5in by 2.5in wide; it has a sort of 'H' shaped mark on the bottom (the H mark looks somewhat like an upside down Honda 'H' logo); it has what seems like a medium-grain sand-covered outer surface; it has a sand/tan color appearance with some gold-colored accents on the handles and flowers.

Any info, opinion, or reference about it and whether it is an antique?  Appreciated, thanks!

Update: From another forum, I was informed my item may be 'sand majolica' (see eg 'floral majolica pillow vase' on rubylane website), but I am still seeking more info, opinions, references about it, thanks!
